Web development refers to the process of creating websites and web applications for the internet. It involves a combination of programming, design, and content creation to produce websites that are functional, visually appealing, and user-friendly.
Web development typically involves the following components:
- Front-end development: This involves creating the user interface and designing the website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Back-end development: This involves creating the server-side components of the website, such as the database and server-side scripting languages like PHP, Python, or Ruby on Rails.
- Full-stack development: This involves both front-end and back-end development, and is used to create more complex web applications.
